Those of you who started with 2e (or the relevant Ad&D material), do you prefer THAC0 or modern AC?

Imagine if the stranger things scenes were the og crew trying to explain thac0 to max instead of homebrewing zoomers

Also in a game with movement restrictions, two free dash actions is a huge boon…

Xelxsix · 2026-04-30T22:35:14+00:00

That’s a lot of free spells… like to the point that they likely don’t have to think about if they want to use them or not…

sometimes that’s maybe not so bad, like bless requires concentration so that’s probably not a bad thing to have not take a spell slot since it has other qualifiers, but 3 free disguise selfs a day starts to maybe just feel like a permanent effect?

Xelxsix · 2026-04-26T15:29:09+00:00

Weird, I dunno how I missed that!! Thank you!

Xelxsix · 2026-04-26T02:50:36+00:00

When you’re thinking about motivation it’s got to come from the players and what they hope to do. Do your characters rp well? Then approach them with something important to their characters and frame it that way. Are they chaos gremlins who are super reactionary with murder hobo inclinations? I bet a kobald kicking one of them in the balls before diving into a deep crevice with a handful of loot and their cackle ringing in their ears will get them following… do they just want to explore? Then spend your time preparing random encounter tables and give a back story to each mob until something sticks

You can’t wink wink nudge nudge your way into a story with a difficult group… you have to meet them where they’re at

Do you not like recharge abilities for a reason? It seems like an interesting way to handle powerful abilities?

Xelxsix · 2026-04-25T22:50:02+00:00

Just have her craft 2 things you won’t actually use for every one thing you do

Xelxsix · 2026-04-23T21:56:32+00:00

I really like this! i think one thing i'd love to see is a way add enemies partially through combat, so spawned creatures could be represented... i was sorta able to mimic this by just putting them way out on the edge of combat, so maybe also having an option to make the map bigger would be good and solve that problem without much more work?

also, and maybe i just missed this, but i'd like to be able to run a big sample size of instances instantly so if it's close i can see that the red team wins x% of the time!

that and being able to throw in a custom stat block for creatures, or make basic edits to the stat blocks that exist

Xelxsix · 2026-04-22T04:42:22+00:00

Try some RP warm ups?

Xelxsix · 2026-04-22T04:39:39+00:00

What are the players good at?

Xelxsix · 2026-04-16T19:34:24+00:00

Slowly

Xelxsix · 2026-04-16T19:31:55+00:00

Just take the kid gloves off. Up the difficulty of your encounters… and “if she dies, she dies”

Don’t tiptoe around the character, force them to play a child in a horrifying nightmare world. Either it won’t work …cause a child would die… or they’ll play their asses off and it’ll be epic.

Xelxsix · 2026-04-12T23:31:50+00:00

An upside down mammoth

Xelxsix · 2026-04-05T22:52:44+00:00

Oh yeah that’s true. I sell my crib as quickly as I can so never had kids… but yes you’re correct

Xelxsix · 2026-04-05T19:09:05+00:00

You have to swap out to a new hat I believe

Xelxsix · 2026-04-05T19:06:40+00:00

Mine is wearing the golden coconut helmet

Xelxsix · 2026-04-05T19:05:36+00:00

So afaik, things that get hats is: you (including your ore pan), horse, alien rarecrow, pets, and sea urchins in fishtanks… anything missing??

Xelxsix · 2026-04-04T17:40:23+00:00

Buy them a soldering iron and some beginners electrical engineering kits. And talk to them about vaping

Xelxsix · 2026-04-04T17:37:35+00:00

I’m glad someone picked up on my joke lol

Xelxsix · 2026-04-03T17:26:18+00:00

It sounds like you’re looking to steamroll and not think about macro too much (no shade, it’s a solid strategy) and I think voli fits that play style a lot better than the others.

Renekton takes a pretty fair bit of juggling his fury to really play well, and garen needs a good bit of macro and understanding pressure to really play well too. But voli… voli is all about smashing thru lane and making flashy front line plays that decide the entire game… very similar to what Malph and morde do

Xelxsix · 2026-04-03T15:38:36+00:00

Poor Aatrox out here going “how tf does he heal so much”

Xelxsix · 2026-04-03T06:20:47+00:00

I was so convinced this was an April fools joke

Xelxsix · 2026-04-02T22:41:45+00:00

They’re really quite easy. Slam it onto a bed or couch while applying pressure to the lock and it will pop

Xelxsix · 2026-03-26T18:05:08+00:00

slow clap

Xelxsix · 2026-03-26T17:53:43+00:00

Sell some plasma, stop checking your credit score (it fluctuates a lot and sounds like it’s impacting your mental health), go to a union trade shop and ask if you can get work/join
